South Tyneside Council work

In addition to its contract with NEPO, Galliford Try has also been appointed to the civil engineering framework operated by South Tyneside Council, which is anticipated to generate about £20 million of business over its three-year term.

Peter Truscott, Chief Executive of Galliford Try, said: “These awards demonstrate the breadth and versatility of the service provided by our Infrastructure division and, in particular, the strength of our Highways and Environmental businesses.

“We look forward to working with all the partners involved to make a high quality contribution to the infrastructure of the North West and North East.”
